It’s the arse end of a two day hangover and I really don’t want to go out. Certainly, I don’t want to deal with wandering around a Vegas casino trying to find the venue, dealing with security and metal detectors, and the irony of having to deal with drunks. Lesser bands would find […]
JOHN GIST (right) with JOHN GARCIA It’s all too easy to believe that gigs happen by magic. Your favourite bands just show up in town, rock the house and then move on to the next town, all of it done by some sort of witchcraft. Except, of course, that’s not the case; there’s a road […]
Photo: Cybele Parsignault It was almost all wrong from the initial countdown to the launch. Conceptually, Orange County, California, was created to isolate decent, god-fearing folks from the likes of Dave Wyndorf’s ancestors. “Keep them hairy beatniks far, far away from us, please!” It’s only now, in 2018, when the music has such little […]

It’s no secret that Zeke have written some cracking tunes about motorbikes, not least the brilliant God Of GSXR, T-500, and well, let’s be honest, about half their songs are either about fast cars or motorcycles, all of them played at breakneck speed, with a suicide clutch, and no brakes. So it seemed like […]
Photo by Mathew Stubs Phillips. ROY MAYORGA’S TOP 11 DRUMMERS With a resume that takes in everything from New York crust punks Nausea through to Soulfly, Amebix, Ministry and Stone Sour, it would be remiss not to include Roy Mayorga among the all-time greats of drumming. He’s also a thoroughly decent bloke, one […]
Having played bass for the likes of The Obsessed, Kyuss, and Fireball Ministry, California native Scott Reeder has a style that is completely his own, bringing a unique thunder that is both instantly recognizable and hugely influential. But what of his own influences?Obviously, narrowing it down to just ten favourites is a difficult task: […]

Got to be honest, I really don’t like X. Hugely overrated. Two passable songs. But, hey, I’ve got to put something in the X category for the A to Z thing. Just an opinion, don’t get all butt hurt if they’re your favourite band.
